WooHoo! My husband did OUR first home party yesterday. 6 people showed up and he sold $286 worth of product! Plus 2 people will be ordering that didn't show up.
They usually buy a different kind of candle (gc) but they will now buy ours. they liked my husbands presentation better!
WooHoo! Way to go hubby!

Yes Robin, he has. He carries his Man Bag with him everywhere. It has scent samples, catalogs, fundraising packets, order forms and 2 jars in it. He asks EVERYONE if they burn scented candles. If they say No, he says oh well I was gonna give you a free gift but since you dont burn....... They quickly change their No to a Yes and he has sold jars that way! LOL
He goes to all the craft shows with me too. We do 1 or 2 a month.
He is my sales guy for sure. He has more customers than I do!!!
And, he is allergic to man made scents but almost all of our scents dont bother him at all. So he is also a walking testimonial!!! LOL

Sounds like Bob, my brother in law. He is Jeannies right hand man. He helps her with sales and much more.

What is a "Man Bag"? I have the tote from Joanne Fabrics that I carry these supplies in but it is pink print. Just curious. A great idea!

I sponsored a real sweetheart in Montana. She LOVES MB Candles!!
We spoke for several weeks before she joined b/c she had been with other companies before and.....
She joined in December. Then her hubby, who is a Minister, fell in love with the candles and business and is working closely with her.
It's very sweet... and they're building a huge business both locally and throughout the states.

I don't mind Lori! http://www.wahm.com/forum/smileys/smiley1.gif
He calls it his "man bag". Its just a tote bag (blue and white) with all his materials and products. He's 6'1" 225lbs, I don't think he would like to say, honey can you grab my tote bag! LOL He would rather call it his man bag! http://www.wahm.com/forum/smileys/smiley36.gif
I love having my husband as my partner in this business. He has been a great supporter. He was there to stop me from quitting in the beginning and now here we are 2 1/2 years later, diamond distributors. This has been a great journey for us and we are excited to continue to climb our way to the top! TOGETHER!!!
